Big Bill's Bar-Be-Que

Beef brisket sandwich with slaw and hot sauce - fire flame. Clean and polite -- quick service

Poor advertisement of closed restaurant. My friend and I met to have dinner while I was in town and chose to come here. After driving across town and the building was boarded up and closed. We wasted time in traffic and had to pick somewhere else to go on the spot. Disappointing as we spent time we could have had to catch up trying to rework a plan.

I think Memphis is great for BBQ, period, so I don't really have favorite places that stand out amongst others. I also pretty much stick to the same order each time I have a taste for some, so maybe I am not the best person to judge in an entirety sort of way.I've eaten here twice and each time I get the chopped beef sandwich with slaw and a side. Both times I ordered to go and, for me, it was perfect. The only thing that would have maybe made it better is if the sandwich was piping hot when it was given to me and retained most of its heat by the time I got home. Nice amount of sauce on the sandwich. Not too dry, not too drenched. Flavorful meat. Fries and beans are good. I don't need a lot to be happy. BBQ should be simple and good and thats what I would say Big Bill's is. My go-to if I have a taste for BBQ and happen to be in that area of town.

Glad we found this place through Yelp. We walked in, and the place was empty, so we were a bit nervous. The service was rapid, a plus, and the food was fresh. The seasoning on the catfish was delicious. The place is a pretty nice size and can accommodate many people. As we sat and ate, it gradually became busy. At that point, we noticed they had just opened.One teachable moment I will recommend, even if not busy, look busy versus sitting on the countertop where food is being served and on your cellphone.

The ribs and beans was good, i didn't like how they shredded the chicken, the mac n cheese tasted boxed, the carmel cake was dry. Overall the ambiance was also nice. The customer service needs improvement, lack of attention, no one at the counter times i stood for minutes and no one showed up to give me the cake i ordered and paid for but was not included when the food came out.

I have eaten here before, but I will keep it moving from now on. I am sure that there is nothing else I would like to order after this. I will stick to other places that make sure the quality is there.

I tried this restaurant for the first time this week. Not going to add it to my "must go again" list. I had the chicken nachos, which were more bbq sauce than cheese, so I ended up eating mostly bbq-flavored tortilla chips. The chicken was not very flavorful and quite dry. The restaurant is very nice inside.

It was so big and really beautiful I love the food and atmosphere. We will come here again tY.

Great food Fast service Nice and cleanI recommend this spot for your barbecue needs!

I've been a fan of Big Bill's since he was on Elvis Presley. That's where I always direct visitors because, let's be honest, many of the Memphis bbq spots that are hyped up aren't good. I said what I said. But since BBB moved out to Kirby, I've only been to that location a couple of times. And because I'm a creature of habit, I normally get the same thing when I go. But last week I joined my fellow Yelp Elites for a tasting on the patio. Not only were there a variety of dishes including nachos, ribs, bang bang chicken and sliders, there were many different meats (chicken, pork, Turkey, beef and salmon) to accommodate our group. The sides were plentiful as always, and that spaghetti was BUSSIN. The only thing that missed the mark was the pulled chicken, as it was a little dry. However, that's my go-to meal and it's always on point so I chalk it up to an off night. I've heard great things about their Sunday Brunch, so I plan to make my reservation soon. Big Bill's is THE spot in Memphis for great que, check them out ASAP!
